Linguistics is the Scientific Study of Language
A linguist investigates:
Physical production and perception of speech sounds (phonetics)
phone -smallest significant unit of sound
IPA Chart with accompanying soundshttp://www.phonetics.ucla.edu/course/chapter1/flash.html
One-to-one sound symbol correspondence (naming sounds)
Rules governing the organization of sounds (Phonology)
(tl v. cl example)

The linguist investigates(continued): Word formation (morphology)
A morpheme is the smallest significant unit of meaning
Ex: cats
What is the morphological difference between farmer and corner
Word order in an utterance, phrase, or sentence (syntax)
Acquisition and retention of language
![Page 8: Ebonics. Dialect. Slang. What is Black Speech](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012019/61687063d394e9041f6f967c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The linguist investigates(continued): The meaning of words individually and those words contextualized in a phrase or
sentence (semantics)
Example: She is so fast!
She: pronoun indicating femininity (also the apparent subject of the sentence)
Is: refers to a state of being
So: modifier
Fast: adverb
Social uses of language (pragmatics)
Example: She is so fast!

One Design Feature of Language: Cultural transmission

Foundational ideas Language is arbitrary
Categorization of a “standard” form of language is also arbitrary
All languages are equal
All speakers of all languages are equal
The role of the linguist is not prescriptive
Oral language and sign language are available to (almost) everyone and therefore are most indicative of human communication

Beowulf (Old English version) → → Translation
Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan. þæt wæs god cyning.

LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,
from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore,
awing the earls. Since erst he lay
friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him:
for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve,
till before him the folk, both far and near,
who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,
gave him gifts: a good king he!

Shakespeare’s English RODERIGO
Tush! never tell me; I take it much unkindly
That thou, Iago, who hast had my purse
As if the strings were thine, shouldst know of this.
IAGO
'Sblood, but you will not hear me:
If ever I did dream of such a matter, Abhor me.
